What do I make?

I make art. I make excuses I make apologies I make believe I make cookies and brownies and in doing so I make friends I make mistakes I make amends I make things up sometimes I make sundaes when I'm sad and when that's not enough I make off in my car and drive around for awhile. I make people mad I make promises-- "I'll make you an offer; I'll make you see that you're important. I'll make you happy I'll make out with you and up with you and I'll make off with you into the sunset" I make things up sometimes I make believe I make art.
